AC reverses the current in periods, and the current flows in 2 directions. 
DC only flows in one direction and is constant. 

AC is typically used to transfer power over long distances from a generator to your home, stepping it up after it's generated to send it over the distance, then stepping it back down so that it is usable in your home.

DC is used typically inside of devices, as it sends a certain amount of electricity through the wires.

Nicolas Tesla, was ripped off by Edison to replace his DC stations with AC instead. ^^

Why was the concern over global cooling replaced with a concern over global warming?
velikii [3]
<span>During 1970s, same observations were seen as what we have observed today pertaining to our climate. Journals were discussing that there would be warming because of greenhouse gases emissions. Also, it was observed between the years 1970 to 1990 that there was a steady surface temperature increase. Due to this, people are now fixated with global warming rather than on global cooling.</span>

A cat with a mass of 5.00 kg pushes on a 25.0 kg desk with a force of 50.0N to jump off. What is the force on the desk?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

First of all the formula is F= uR,( force= static friction× reaction)

mass= 5+25=30

F= 50

R= mg(30×10)=300

u= ?

F=UR

u= F/R

u= 50/300=0.17N

In a crash test, a truck with mass 2100 kg traveling at 22 m/s smashes head-on into a concrete wall without rebounding. The fron
slega [8]

Answer:

a)   v_average = 11 m / s, b)  t = 0.0627 s

, c)    F = 7.37 10⁵ N

, d)   F / W = 35.8

Explanation:

a) truck speed can be found with kinematics

         v² = v₀² - 2 a x

The fine speed zeroes them

           a = v₀² / 2x

           a = 22²/2 0.69

           a = 350.72 m / s²

The average speed is

           v_average = (v + v₀) / 2

           v_average = (22 + 0) / 2

           v_average = 11 m / s

b) The average time

          v = v₀ - a t

          t = v₀ / a

          t = 22 / 350.72

          t = 0.0627 s

c) The force can be found with Newton's second law

             F = m a

             F = 2100 350.72

             F = 7.37 10⁵ N

.d) the ratio of this force to weight

             F / W = 7.37 10⁵ / (2100 9.8)

             F / W = 35.8

.e) Several approaches will be made:

- the resistance of air and tires is neglected

- It is despised that the force is not constant in time

- Depreciation of materials deformation during the crash

A baseball pitcher throws a ball at 40 ms^-1. if the acceleration is approximately constant over a distance of 2 m, how large is
Reil [10]

We have the equation of motion v^2=u^2+2as, where v i the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and s is the displacement

Here final velocity, v = 40m/s

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Displacement s = 2 m

Substituting 40^2=0^2+2*a*2\\ \\ a=400m/s^2

So the baseball pitcher accelerates at 400m/s^2 to release a ball at 40 m/s.
